Software dev budgets picking up: It’s still a .Net, Java world for now

Microsoft’s .Net and Java are still winning the software development bake-off, but enterprises and SMBs are increasingly eyeing rich browser interfaces and open source frameworks.
Forrester surveyed 933 IT decision makers and 2,500 developers. That data was supplemented by other data from the Forrester/Dr. Dobbs Technographics survey and the Eclipse Community Survey.
Microsoft’s .Net and Java are the two most widely used platforms and there’s a lot of overlap. According to the survey, 48 percent of enterprises use both platforms and 21 percent of SMBs use both.
